Hi Have used bit defender before and it works better when you install a single licence individually on a computer. To administer it from a derver gave us lots of issues since they didnt have technically sound support consultants in my location.

We discontinued it for symantac which removed the bottle neck of central management and worked pretty fine...

So it actually depends on which 1 you intend to deploy as i am not too sure the central management interface has been improved

As a stand alone product it has shown stupendous promise but was complicated and somewhat immature to manage.

In my own history and experience, with any security product, the simplicity of administration and deployment is what guarantees a best protected environment. You have to touch and feel the management console, push out some pilot users and get a feel for everyday life before you decide. We recently switched from a major provider whom I shall leave unnamed to Microsoft Forefront for ease of use, deployment, and central administration. We have had to supplement for some of the HIP (Host intrusion prevention) features that the other software offered but they were so difficult to keep managed and to manage exceptions, that that aspect of the product offered less than optimal value.

Thanks
